I love this app. It’s the best text editor I’ve found or iOS / iPadOS. Unfortunately, it seems broken on the latest iPadOS 17.x. I went ahead and tipped and I hope the dev will be able to fix it.

It’s good for me coding stuff in Python and JS, since it’s a code editor, but add features like a compiler, since I’d like to see what my code looks like in the real world.

Would love it even more if you added syntax highlighting for vue files. :) Still looks pretty good if I just manually choose javascript from the highlighting list, though, so no big deal.
